WILSON S SEEDS 
WILSON’S GLORIOUS GLADIOLUS 
ALL FIRST SIZE BULBS 
Plant a few bulbs each week from April to middle of July and provide won 
derful cut-flowers from July to October. 
CULTURE—Any good garden soil, thoroughly pre¬ 
pared and manured, is suitable. Bonemeal or Sheep 
Manure Fertilizer are particularly good. If the soil 
is stiff, add or sand sifted ashes. 
Gladioli do best in full sun. Plant in rows, 6 
inches apart in the row, and 4 inches deep, rows 
12 inches apart. Frequent cultivation is advisable. 
Water copiously. Take up bulbs in fall 'before ground 
begins to freeze and put in a warm, sunny place, 
for a few days, to dry. Cut off stems a few inches 
above bulb, tie in bunches and hang in a dry cool 
place or store in paper bags. 
Cut spikes soon as the first one or two flowers are 
open. The remainder will open in the house. Each 
day remove the faded flowers, cut a little off the end 
of the stem and change the water; a spike will last 
a week or ten days.

WILSON’S PEERLESS GLADIOLUS MIXTURE 
Most gladioli mixtures are composed o'f a number of odd (mostly cheap) varieties thrown together into 
one container and sold in that way. That’s why mixtures are usually a disappointment. Our mixtures are 
taken from above named sorts so that the purchaser is absolutely sure of a real mixture. Wilson’s Peer¬ 
less Mixture has no equal at the price. It contains all colors from white to the deepest shade of red in equal 
proportions. All first size bulbs. 
Price per dozen, 60 cts.; per hundred, $4.00—25 and up at 100 rate.
